CIFOR FEATURE - <span>Traditional practices and beliefs </span>in landscape management
<div>_________________<br>
</div>
<div>Indigenous Peoples have been practicing landscape governance using their traditional knowledge and customary rules for generations. Their traditional and local beliefs, taboos, norms and knowledge also play a critical role in conserving local biodiversity
and landscapes.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As knowledge was generated and adapted over time to secure livelihoods, many systems became naturally aligned with the principles of sustainable landscape management and conservation developed by modern science. Indigenous Peoples also have traditional
conflict management approaches where customary leaders play the key roles in developing resolution mechanisms.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<span>Researchers are now considering whether these might be applied more widely to manage landscape more sustainably and to reconcile conservation and development objectives.</span></div>
